Switching Paper Types
If you have more than one type of job, it is often necessary to switch between con-
tinuous forms and single sheets. This section explains how to switch between paper
types. It is not necessary to remove the continuous forms paper from the printer.
CAUTION:
This function is not available for continuous forms paper that is fed by
the pull-tractor.
Switching from Continuous Forms to Single Sheets (Push-Feed Mode)
To switch from continuous forms to single sheets:
1.
Tear off your printed pages.
2.
Retract the forms paper to the park position by pressing the Park button. The
Fault indicator turns on.
CAUTION:
Retracting many pages by using the Park button without tearing off will
cause paper jams. To avoid damage to your printed pages, be sure to
tear off the printed pages before retracting the continuous forms paper.
3.
Move the paper select lever forward to the single sheet position.
4.
Raise the cut sheet stand to the up position. (For details see the section “Using
Single Sheets” earlier in this chapter.) Put a sheet of paper on the cut sheet stand
with its bottom edge aligned with the platen. The paper automatically advance
to the top-of-form position if the option S-SHEET LD (Single Sheet Load) is set
to AUTO. Otherwise, press the
FF/LOAD button to advance the single sheet
paper to the top-of-form position.
You are now ready to print using single sheets.
Switching from Single Sheets to Continuous Forms (Push-Feed Mode)
To switch from single sheets to continuous forms:
1.
If a sheet of paper is loaded, remove the paper by turning the platen knob or
pressing the
FF/LOAD button.
2.
Move the paper select lever to the rear to the continuous forms position.
3.
Press the FF/LOAD button. The continuous forms paper advances from the
park position to the top-of-form position.
You are now ready to print using continuous forms paper.
